Abstract: In comparison to conventional construction materials i.e. wood, steel etc. the polymeric materials reinforced with synthetic fibers such as glass, carbon etc. does have blessing of high stiffness and strength to weight ratio. As there is no rose without thorns, similarly widespread use of synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composite is confined by theirhigh initial cost, their use in non-efficient structural forms and most importantly their adverse environmental impact. These days increase the interest in using natural fibers as reinforcement in concrete and minimize Conventional synthetic fibers around surrounding the researchers have focused on using natural fibers reinforced with synthetic polymerfibers. The present work includes analysis of properties of concrete with partial replacementof fine aggregates with hemp & polypropylene fibers and study of compressive and split tensile strength of the fiber reinforced concrete tensile strength of the fiber reinforced concrete.
The addition of polypropylene fiber increase the compressive the addition of strength initially & then start decreasing with increase in fiber quantities. The addition of polypropylene fibers effect on the split tensile strength has shown a gradual increase with the addition of fiber.
